Someone should ask on twitter why we can hear male and female shepard voice behind catalyst's voice.


Good idea! I would if I had an account, but I don't :pinched:

Not entirely related, just something new to think about :)

What is the effect of the catalyst on the crucible?

What we know:
1. It has been stated by Liara that the catalyst was included in the blueprints of the crucible found in the prothean dig site on mars from the very beginning.
2. According to Javik, the crucible was the collective work of many civilizations from cycles before the prothean.
3. According to the Prothean VI, the idea of implementing the use of the citadel into the crucible was founded amid the designing process. According to the VI, the catalyst IS the citadel (which shows it's a fact to the Protheans, and presumably a fact to the civilizations of previous cycles, including the one which suggested to use the citadel and call it the catalyst)

From the moment the citadel was included in the blueprints, the catalyst has always and only been the citadel, civilizations from the past may or may not know of the star child, the star child's intervention may not have been part of their plan.

The crucible was originally designed without the catalyst, there are four possible outcomes to the use of catalyst:

1. Retaining the original function (A), which is intended by the very first designers of the crucible before implementing use of citadel
2. Gained the intended new/strengthened function (B) after implementing use of citadel (star child intervention NOT part of the plan)
3. Gained intended new/strengthened function © after implementing use of citadel (star child intervention IS part of the plan)
4. The unintended function (D). Either caused by star child not doing what was predicted by the designers who suggested to use him as catalyst (Function C failed) or they don't know about the existance of star child at all (Function B failed)

Judging from the four possibilies, there's a good chance that the current three choices are not the original intended functions of the crucuble after all :? There's something really fishy about that star kid

No. It was just terrible.

Yes I read the thread and responses.

Seriously. All this does is make you all look desperate.

This game had a bad half finished ending that invalidated everyhitng we did up to that point and no amount of reaching will change that.


*hugs*

We were there two once...



...only a few stages to go.


We evolved from rage to facts


then back to rage again

Yup. I'd been completely numb about the endings before I even opened up this thread, believing it to be trolling, incredibly desparate, or otherwise. I hate getting my hopes up and being let down...but now it's REALLY hard for me to ignore so much that didn't add up before suddenly making sense with this theory.

 Here are the models of the bodies... plus an interesting 4th body that kind of goes with one of the "cut" endings.

I think one the DLCs they're making is going to explain the Reaper origins, which is why they're trying to hold us hanging.

Remember, we haven't seen the Battarian side of the war yet, or the Leviathian of Dis, which in ME3 was admitted to being a Reaper.


About the Leviathan, some thought it was actually Sovereign.

I would dare say his non-commital response and joy at seeing the discussion suppodesdly would reinforce it.

It could go either way - I'm just scared they are going to try and go the angle that players should use their ~imagination~ to understand the ending.

Or click them and press enter when your url is active.

Very, very clearly Kaidan and Ashley's armor. Harder to tell with faces, which might be the same, but those do look like Kaidan's brows.

All the faces look the same to me, which scared the hell out of me in my playthrough.
